The occasional newspaper supporter
of Governor Church felicitates itself at
regular intervals in brief paragraphs
like this:
Little Miss Yankton has been pouting
very naughtily for several months but
she hasn't got that $50 900 piece OF cake
yet.
This is to say, the aim and object
Of the pod headed administration is to
prevent Yankton from getting 500, ,0Go.
Well, Yankton is more entitled to it
than Governor Church, though as o
matter offastg she $50 900 would go,
under the law, to the insane people OF
south Dakota. 1t is an argument OIL
light weight in defence of an illegal aai
on the part Of Che executive, though
it seems to be the best. that can be ad-
vauced.

urging upon them the ACCESSIBILITY of
opposing the call of q constitutional
convention. The b. & D. contr Dis and
owns millions of property in Maryland
that it doesn't pay cent of tax to the
State on, and 1t is getting alarmed at
the preparations being made to REVISE
our tax laws. That corporation will
do its best to defeat the men who pro-
pose to revise the tax laws which
would make it pay its share and help
relieve our farmers. and every thing
will be done that is possible to defeat
the election of DR.. Mackall.
Will farmers of Cecil County permit
this and play into the hands of this
gorged corporation? Their chief at
torney advises the republican party to
oppose constitutional convention.
Why? Because his company has pow
erful financial reasons for wishing no
change in the fundamental law.
On the other hand the Pennsylvania
company have one of their agents OH
the democratic ticket in this county
which no doubt they will see to the
election of or leave no stone unturned
to effect that result.
1t will be seen that these two giant
corporations are forming the line of
battle in the state of Maryland and the
prize is the State and its people. One
or the other propose to control the des,
TIMES of the state as far as their unre
straired will and wish, and their pc
cuniary interests are concerned. In
every state of the Union railroad COM
panies and the whiskey interest are at
work day and night manipulating the
two political parties in their interest.
Every reader of current events ought
to know these facts, and does know
them, unless he reads with his minds
eye closed. The temperance party are
waking up to the importance of doing
some work of a similar nature but
with better object in view, and are
bringing combined efforts to bear on
the political parties, by moulding pub
lie sentiment and threatening politi-
clans, and they are exerting marked
influence in shaping the laws in favor
of prohibition.
But the farmers. What are they do
ing? Almost nothing. With half the
votes in their hands, they stand back
timid as hares, afraid to even make a
combined effort to achieve simple JUS
tice. We urged the only associations
of farmers in the. county to make an
effort to assert their cause by naming
a representative candidate for the leg
islature and appealing to their guild in
an address to unite in his election, but
they scare at the idea. People would
say something! People are saying
something all the time about you. Do
you know what it is? They say farm
ers are mobodies! Judged by the infiu
ence you exercise in public affairs are
they not about right?

Higher Education and Prohibition

Edward H. Magill, president of
Swathmore College, delivered his
lecture on Prohibition on Saturday
evening in the Friends Normal
School Building at this place. The
lecture was read, and was fine piece
of composition. The subject was
discussed very thoroughly and ably.
The lecturer emphasized his opposi-
ton to third party movement or
formation having prohibition for its
fundamental principle. and urged
agitation and education to create a
public sentiment so strong that poll
ticians and party legerdermain would
fear to thwaat it, but be compelled
TO obey. After the lecture was con-
cluded. which consumed about an
hour and half in rapid delivery
and could with profit be shortened
twenty minutes, George Balderson
opposed Mr.. Magilrs sentiments on
the third party issue in ten min
utes speech which contained strong
points in rebuttal of the lecturers
views.
Minister Flitcraft of the Hicksite
denomination of Friends made few
remarks in discouragment of third
party and favoring agitation to
strengthen public sentiment in favor
of the total abolition OF the rum trade
by prohibatory law.
At The conclusion of his lecture
president Magill spoke earnestly of
the growing evil of tobacco using, on
the young. He dwelt particularly on
the cigarette smoking practice which
is gaining an alarming Roadway.
Opium is mixed with the worst refuse
of tobacco to give the cigarette
more soothing influence and the hab-
it is playing havoc with boys who are
being destroyed by thousands by
heart disease the result of cigarette
smoking. Tobacco heart is pre-
pairing thousands of youth for early
victims to many forms of disease
which weakened vitality invites.

Washington Aug 10Th, 1887
After testing the new Civil Service regu-
lations in the War Department the Civil
Service Commissioners state that the ex-
pertinent was q success, except in some mi
nor particulars that can be readily adjusted
to meet existing conditions of the system in
question. AS result of this examination
the Commissioners have certified to the
War Department the names of eight persons
for that number of $1,000 vacancies and
names to all the forty-eight vacancies in
the 81 900 class will al once be certified
These appointments will be made with due
regard to the appointment of the officers
according to the quotas Of the several
States of the Union. The new rules will
be applied to the Gle rks of all the Depart
ments in the Treasury, it is supposed, be
ing in order.
1t is given out that Secretary Lamar is
strenuou,ly opposed to the new civil ser
vice rules, and that he will exert his infu-
ence to prevent their application to the In
terror Department, though, I doubt the
truthfulnes; of the report for Mr.. Lamar
having been college professor fully APP
preciates the scholarly attrinments of his
subordinates.
have it from good authority that the
new Commissioner of Patents has made the
unexpected and Interesting discovery that
the pay rolls of his Office contain the name'
of quite startling number of ladies or
women whose salaries are not provided for
in the Congressional appropriation bills,
and who are classed as laborers, but whose
labors are not perceptible at least to the
public vision. These fair laborers are chief
" distinguished by their personal appear
ance, and it is said they are protected by
statesmen high in the councils of the ma
ton.
Gen. Allan Rutherford, formerly an Au-
ditor of the Treasury. but now a prominent
claim Attorney. of this city, and a clerk
named Bfouner, of the Pension Office are
under arrest on the charge of purloining
Government records from that Bureau, the
penalty being five years at penal servitude.
The clerk confesses his crime but the law
yer stoutly denies his guilt and attempts to
saddle another with the offanse charged.
The Treasury has redeemed and re-
coined into dimes about three quarter mill
lions of trade dollars; the time for redempt-
ion will expire in a few days and it is be-
lieved that very little is now left outstand-
ing. Despite the fact that more than six
teen million dollars haye been paid on
pensions this month, the excess of Treasury
receipts over all disbursements foots up
three and half millions for the same per-
iod, thus largely augmenting the already
enormous surplus, which seems a very
troublesome white elephant on the hands
of the Government.

TIL e Presbyterian Sociable Picnic
Which spent Thursday last week ct
Gilpin's Rocks was most enjoyable
party. Probably there were eighty
persons shared in the pleasures of
the occasion. The day was one of
those days when heaven and earth
are reconciled, as T. Buchanan Reed
puts it in his beautiful poem Drift
ing" The white table cloths were
laid on the green and messy rocks
beneath the trees, the bountiful good
things from lunch baskets spread,
and the company, broken up into
little social groups enjoyed the sylvan
repast, with apetltes that none but
the camper out can appreciate.
Some of the more romantic were in
ecstacies over the sparkling water
dashing over the rude boulders, drift
ed and piled up here in that phenom-
inal glacier period which occurred
centuries and centuries ago which
added together would count millions
on millions of years, when the at
mosphere was too thin and light to
absorb heat enough to melt the snow
which kept quietly sitting down till
it was thousands of feet deep. and
the weight was so great that the bot
tom became a solid mass of ice, that
was pushed steadily toward the equa.
tor by the accommodating drifts behind,
breaking off, grinding and rolling
the rocks under the mountain mass
till it dropped in the ocean which
was all over that country then and
when the. great upheaval came by the
internal commotion; was lifted from
the bottom of ocean, and "Gravely
HILL" now called Bay View, with its
round pebble s, and all that region
stretching round above the Chesa-
peake bay was shot up and what was
the oceans hoo- became dry land,
and the great pile of boulders, the
top of some northern mountain
caught up by the great ice giant and
carried along till he fell head long
into the sea, d umping his rocky load
in heap, and when the earthquake
lifted the bottom out of the depths of
the sea 10 there was Gilpin's Rocks,
the most delightful place in the
world for picnics barring the giggers,
which annoy the tender skinned
ladies and children hugely. You see it
required tremendous sight of labor
to make this romantic picnic ground
and long time to complete it.
A part of the company fingered
about the enchanted spot and spread.
ing their napkins took supper, and
then drove home in the cool of the
evening with the slan:ing rays of
the sun pouring like golden arrows
fair into their eyes.
The enjoyments of the day being
derived chiefly from absorption, adj
NIT of but meagre description, and
we thought that short sketch of the
landscape gardening which produced
this romantic picnic ground might
interest our readers.
